The Richmond and Chesapeake

i ne richmond ana chesapeake
1t appears from the following letter
that a Virginian residing in Atlanta,
Ga, is fully persuaded that Richmond
needs a railroad leading directly to the
Norther Neck. And we say for his in
formation that a charter for such a rail
road was obtained some years ago, and
that we are as well convinced as he can
be that its construction would prove Of
great advantage to this city. The To-
cation of the northern terminus is not
important to Richmond. 4 railroad to
the Potomac is what she needs.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. %, 1887.
To the Edjtor Of the Dispatch:
Why don't some OF your wealthy
citizens interest themselves in building
a railway from Richmond TO point on
the Potomac opposite Pope creek, and
there, by ferry, or bridge if possible,
connect with the road from Baltimore ?
This would not only give you an indie
pendent and competing line to Baiti-
more, but perhaps some arrangement
might be made with the Richmond and
Danville authorities to run their solid
trains from Atlanta to Richmond, and
then Let their through sleepers from At
lanta go on to New York by the pro-
posed route, as it would be undoubtedly
shorter than the present route ria the
Virginia Midland. | am myselfa native
Virginian, and don't propose this for
Atlanta's benefit Therefore let your
businessmen stir themselves and don't
let the city which is the founder of
one of the greatest railroad systems in
this country remain way-station for
her offspring. The building of this
road would not only be in itself of
great commercial advantage TO Rich
mond, but if the results which [ have
mentioned could be obtained land
they are very possible it would place
the city in the proud position of being
the headquarters of the great Rich
mond and Danville system. Call
meeting of your capitalists and let
them build it, or construct it by popu-
lar subscription, and | am sure your
money will be proftably invested.

respondent has endeavored to ascertain
condition OF boats at Bismarck. Mr.. J.
ID. Mcknight, who is here, sent a dis
patch to Capt. |. ?. Baker for informa-
ton, but no answer yet received. The
supposition is that the boats are all right;
the ways are just below the east side of the
bridge and well protected.
ST. PAUL, March 21-l 80 p. m.-Ad-
vices from Northern Pacific officials state
situation about the same as yesterday, on
ly water is over larger area and rising.
Bridge not damaged as expected. but the
long trestle work approach thereto is bad
ly wrecked.
MANDAN, March 21-7 p. m.-The water
here is practically stationary so far
as area is concerned. The gorge remains
intact except that hourly it becomes more
firmly packed. The gorge is five miles
long, extending from Sibley's island to
half a mile below the Northern Pacific
bridge. 1t shows no sign Of breaking.
There is another gorge twenty-five miles
up the river, at Raymond, thirty feet high
and several miles long, and shows no sign
of breaking. Hart river has not yet bro
ken up, which is a fortunate circumstance,
as should the ice go out of the stream it
would greatly add to the water now flood
ing the greater portion of the town.
ST. PAUL, March 21.-A Bismarck spe-
cial TO the Pioneer Press says the indica-
tions are that the Fort Buford rise is be-
ginning to be felt. All the boats are safe,
as is also the Northern Pacific warehouse
the river being so wide the ice no longer
crowds them. One of the boats here will
steam up as soon as the ice stops running
and be used as passenger transfer. No
loss Of life is reported.
MINNEAPOLIs, March 21.-Judge Fran
els, of Dakota, who left Bismarck OH Sat-
urday and returned here this morning,
says the scenes in the flooded district defy
description. Ice cakes a hundred feet
square are thrown high in the air when
they strike an obscacle. The force of the
current snapped the cables holding the
warehouses to the bank as though they
were cotton threads. The destruction to
property will be great. Several tons Of
mails have been brought back from Bis
marck to be sent around by way Of the
Union Pacific.

A Treatment for Consumption that Promises
to Astound the World.
Special to the River Press.

Special to the River Press.
HELENA, March 22.-Dr. Mclaughlin,
chief physician of the Philadelphia hos
pital, made remarkable report to the
board on the 18th inst. relative to new
treatment for consumption which he had
tried with surprising results. The treat
ment consisted of two rectal injections per
day of carbolic acid gas, prepared by a
process given by French physician, all
medicine being abandoned. The temper
ature was Immediately lowered, night
sweat ceased, pains disappeared, respira-
tion regular and natural and appetite re-
turned. A Helena gentleman lately from
Eure ka Springs says that the above treat
ment is in use at that place by d DR..
Young and has been remarkably success
ful, not only for consumption but for ca
tarrh and other similar affections. Mr..
A. j. Davidson of Helena is now there
under this DOCTORS treatment.

Speaking of Mr.. Barclay, and evidently
10th says: He is now en- route to Benton
to resume work His parties are already
in the fiehl-one working from Great Falls
northeast toward Benton and the mouth
of the Marias; and another below the
Marias on the Missouri trying to find the
lightest grades from the valley of the Mis-
souri, across to the valley of the Milk riV-
er, via the Big Sandy and Beaver creek.
The survey made last wiater from the val
ley of the Big Sandy, across Lonesome
prairie and down the Dry Fork of Marias,
was found to contain too heavy grades to
meet the demands Of the company and
will not te accepted. The Manitoba, from
st. Paul to the Missouri liver, at point
25 miles below Fort Buford, will have no
grade over six -tenths or 81 feet to the
mile, and will constitute one division.
From that point to Fort Assinaboine the
heaviest grade will be four-tenths or q
feet to the mile, and will constitute an
other division. From Fort Assinaboine
TO Helena the sixteenth grade will again
be adopted Tor tile next division. From
Helena to Butte will be the mountain di-
vision, and will be run on the lightest
grade possible The road is completed
and has been in operation 10 Minor. 140
from Buford since last fall. The grading
is completed TO within forty miles of the
Missouri river and it is estimated will be |
finished and in operation to the river early
in May. Boats can then distribute ma
terial and supplies and run at accessible
points along the line for the great sum-
mer's work which is in contemplation all
the way from Rnford to Benton and Great
Falls.

Bush was robbed of $500 at Antelope
Springs, Wyoming, while en- route to Fort
Mckinney to pay troops. Hehad stopped
to eat dinner, leaving the valise which
contained money in the coach which stood
a few steps from the door in plain view of
the major and escort. AS they sat at the
table a stranger who was there when they
arrived siezed the valise, mounted 4 horse,
and was off'like the wind. The escort
siezed their guns and running out opened
fire without apparent effect. Mounting

Fort Conrad Notes.

From Lawrence House of Fort Conrad
we received the following items of gem
eral interest;
The winter had been a severe one and
losses among cattle have been considera-
bic, principally among the S T and L /
outfits. Jas. McDcvitt's losses are quite
small as far as can be learned.
The sheep men have Jared pretty we'll,
losses being as follows: McCuaig & Gear
ing, 180 head; Zimmerman Bros, $50 !;
Kyle Price, 20; Miller's losses are very
slight.
Inc ice went out of the Marias at Fort
Conrad about week ago. There was no
special damage done. The ferry boat of
James McDeYitt was saved.
Leo Fletcher, hunter and trapper, had
by rustling around considerably gathered
together about $3.50 worth OF wolf pelts.
He went out on the hills to secure a cay
ote skin, and during his absence the rise
in the water carried off every one of his
gathered store.
The miners in the Sweet Grass hills
have been hard at work all winter getting
dirt ON the dump preparatory to make a
bigclean up. A miner named Reagan
that when he left the camp they
were sluicing. there is water enough to
do some good work.
